Which one is more efficient against asthma? asmanex or singulair (montelukast)?

It depends: Both medications are controller medications. They are the first step in treating mild persistent asthma and can be used in combination with each other or other medications. One can start with either and monitor asthma and then the doctor decides which one works best, by following your symptoms and lung function test and rescue medication use.

Apples and oranges: You cannot make this type of comparison since we are talking about to different drugs. Asthmanex is an inhaled cortisone while singulair (montelukast) is entirely different. Both are used as controllers but with different outcomes. Talk it over with your physician Good Luck.
